THE HOTTER YOU BURN
The
Original Heartbreakers
New
York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter is back with a sizzling Original
Heartbreakers tale featuring a troubled playboy and the woman he can’t resist…
Beck
Ockley is ruthless in the boardroom...and the bedroom. He's never been with the
same woman twice, and vows he never will. With a past as twisted as his,
meaningless sex keeps the demons at bay. His motto: One and done. No harm, no
foul.
Harlow
Glass is the most hated girl in town. The beautiful artist is penniless,
jobless and homeless. When she sneaks into Beck's home—her ancestral estate—for
food, she's shocked by his early return...and her immediate, sizzling and
intense attraction to him.
For the
first time in Beck's life, he can't get a woman out of his mind. All too soon,
friendship blooms into obsession and he'll have to break her heart...or
surrender his own.

Excerpt
FROM CHAPTER 25
“What’s wrong?” Brook Lynn asked when she entered.
At last Beck focused on her, watching her intently,
waiting for her answer.
She merely offered a half smile. Won’t lie, but won’t
admit the truth, either. “Did you get all the paints and brushes from the
RV?”
“I sure did. Well, Jase did,” Brook Lynn said. “We have a
system. I want, he procures.”
Jase, who sat on the couch in the living room, flipping
channels on the TV, nodded. “Through any means necessary.”
Brook Lynn beamed. “I’m awarding you ten points for
giving the perfect response.”
“I think I deserve twenty,” he said. “Then I’ll have to deduct five for silly thinking.”
He
snorted.
“What
does he do with these points?” Harlow asked in a whisper.
The
feisty blonde waggled her brows, and something deep inside Harlow contracted.
Sex. Of course. But that kind of game was okay for them to play, because Jase
loved Brook Lynn with all his heart, and he wouldn’t allow the romance to die
just because they were intimate.
“Come
on. I’ll show you where I want the mural.” Brook Lynn led her into the hallway,
where the borders had already been taped and the floor covered in plastic. “Now
you can tell me what’s wrong,” she said, moving in front of Harlow.
“Well,
for starters, I’m a mess,” she admitted softly. “I told Beck I wanted to stop
having sex while we got to know each other better, but everything I learn makes
me like and admire him more, and I love him so much but don’t want to tell him
and scare him away, and I don’t want to lose him, but what if I sleep with him
like I really want to do, I mean really, really want to do, but I lose him
anyway because we stop snuggling and talking, and all we can think about is
sex, and what if—”
Brook Lynn slapped her hand over Harlow’s
mouth. “Oh, wow. I would introduce you to Run On Sentence, but I see you’ve
already met.”
